7 DIE, 14 HURT IN HOTEL FIRE
Most ;Beautiful Half-Bread Girl in
Alaska Killed.
Juneau, Alaska Seven lives loat,
11 persons injured, two or whom are
not expected to live, and the Juneau
hotel and the Mctirath building in
anhe are the result of a fire which
started in the hotel late Monday night
and was subdued only after the Doug
las fire department had sent men and
engines to assist the local fire fighters,
Six bodies have been recovered from
the ruins and five more are believed
to be buried in the debris.
Will Morrison, who was a native of
Wisconsin, and who came to Juneau
from Portland, was killed when he
jumped from the third story. Selina
Howling, who is known to have per
shed, was reputed to be the most
beautiful half-breed maiden in Alaska.
She was recently acquitted of a charge
of murdering her mother.
The loss is estimated at $50,000,
with no insurance. The hotel, a large
three-story structure, waa crowded
and the entire building was ablaze be
fore the alarm was given. The flames
spread rapidly and soon destroyed the
McGrath building, which adjoined the
hotel.

Set
Fir to Wreck.
Huelvs. Spain. M. I.e Jarristier, a
French aviator, while (lying here, fell
250 feet and was killed. The motor
exploded, setting fire to the aeroplane.
The aviator was incinerated.
After circling out over the ocean,
the aviator returned and wheeled in
front of the gaily bedecked stands
when one wing of his machine was
aeen to snap and the car turned over
and over as it was hurled to the earth.
The engine of the machine pinned I.e
Jarristier down and the flames charred
hia body before rescuer could ap
proach the wreck.
For half an hour the birdman had
thrilled the spectators by daring
glides and "towers." Three weeks
ago he married a daughter of one of
the wealthy merchants of fluelva. His
bride saw the accident and was borne
from the field in a critical condition.
Tuberculosis War Begi n
Sacramento, Cal. The state board
of health has made its preliminary step
in the investigation of tuberculosis in
the state by appointing an executive
board cf five member who will direct
the work of the proposed tuberculosis
commission ine memners are xo
serve without salary, but there will
be a fund of about $4,000 at their dis
posal to carry on their investigations.

advisory board of about 40 person
from different sections of the state,
who will assist in the crusade.
Pool Stock I Destroyed.
Vinson, Okla. Cheering and sing
ing hymns, the member or the
Christian church here applied the
torch to the furniture and fixtures of
the only town pool hall after these ar
ticles .had been piled in the. main

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
OREGON HOPS BEST.
Coast Product I Rich In Lupulin
Say Scientist.
Corvalli Invetigations made dur
ing the past year by II. V. Tartar,
chemiat of the Oregon Experiment Sta
tion, ihow that Pacific Coast hop are
not surpassed in quality by hop from
any other part of the world. The re
sult indicate that preference for for
eign hop and New York hop are
largely prejudice and cannot be backed
up with fact. The preaent "rub and
nose" method of judging hop has
been found to be sadly in error, and
unreliable for determining accurately
me real value of hops for commercial
use. When the old prejudice and
faulty method of judging are laid
aside, Pacific Coast hop will rank
differently and much higher in the
markets of the world.
1 ro lessor iartar believe that one
of the best thing that can be done for
the bop industry in this state i to em
ploy standards for judging the product
upon a scientific basis. The Oregon
hop are very rich in lupulin and bit
ter principle, and thia should be rec
ognized and it value considered in
the market price paid.
A movement for the adoption of
new standards for the valuation of
hop already has been started in this
country by the International Hop
Prize exhibit, which will be held Oct.
11 and 12 at Chicago. At this exhib
it the hop will be judged for the first
time by a scientific standard. The
truth regarding real value of hops
from the different localities will be
ascertained.
"The Oregon hopgrowers should by
all mean participate in this exhibit.
ana tnus aia in showing the superior
quality of Pacific Coast hops," said
Professor Tartar.
PEAR SHIPMENTS HEAVY,
Medford Grower Plan to Build Stor-
g Plant.
Medford Thirty-three car of Bart-
lett pear have been shipped from the
valley since the season opened, two
week ago, and the fruit is going out
at the rate of five cars a day. The
fruit is maturing rapidly under favor
able climatic conditions, and the
Howell pears are now being harvested.
The Howella are exceptionally fine this
year, and are expected to bring good
prices.
All the fruit that has been shipped
so far is being held in Chicago await-
ng the clearing of the market of
cheap fruit. The local association is
greatly in need of a cold Btorage plant
here, and tentative plans are being
made for the erection of a $100,000
plant next season.
With such a plant in Medford, local
growers will be able to hold their
fruit for the price they want, instead
f having to ship them to commission
houses from the trees.
FRUIT SHADOWS STOCK.
Tillamook County Finds Bigger Prof
it in New Industry.
Bay City Tillamook county is
wakening to the possibilities that lie
n a development of its agricultural
resources. It has been found that an
ere of land, if used for the feeding of
airy stock, will only produce a return
ibout $75, but that if the same
and is plowed and set to small fruit
and vegetables, the income to be
erived will be in the neighborhood of
tiOO or $700, or, in other words, from
eight to nine times greater.
Mohler, the new townsite on the
Pacific Kail road & Navigation com
pany line; the Commercial club of
Nehalem, just in the process of form-
tion; the Commercial club of Hay
ity, and the Development league of
illamook, have joined for the ad
vancement of thia new line of develop
ment. HAS NEW ATTRACTION.
Managers of State Fair Secure Noted
Prima Donna.
Salem Madam Marie Begue, who
was formerly a member of the Metro
politan Grand Opera company of New
ork City, is to sing at the talem
State Fair during the week it is in
rogress, September 11 to 16. This
s the first time that a prima donna
has ever appeared at a state fair, and
t opens up a new era in the history of
the organization which has an even
half century of progress behind it.
With the prima donna, who sings con
tralto, is her husband, Sig. Bernard
Begue, a baritone of rare voice and
reat dramatic intensity. 1 he couple
will be accompanied by the great Fer
rullo Band, which has become famous
n the Pacific Northwest.
Clackamas Hog Hav Cholera.
Oregon City Hog cholera in a viru
lent form has made its appearance in
thia county. Pr. H. M. Thomas, a
veterinarian of Gladstone, found that
11 hogs on one farm had the disease.
He notified State Veterinarian Lytle
nd the latter had the hogs quaran
tined. Dr. I.ytle does not think mere
Is any danger of the disease spreading.
This is the first time the disease has

Con-
Forest 8rvic Add 20,000 to
Fight Oregon Fire.
Washington, D. C. On account
of the danger of a serioua forest fire
in Oregon, the season having been
particularly dry, the forest service
has added $20,000 to the appropri
ation made thia year to the atate
Forest Fire association. Already
the $25,000 appropraited early in
the season and $20,000 given later,
have been used, a much outside
help haa been necessary to keep
down incipient fire.
Albany In a final effort to check
the forest fire on Seven-Mile moun
tain, the government forest service is
sending more men to the fire. In a
report to the forest service headquar
ter here Forest Ranger Stahlman,
who ia in charge of the fight against
this fire, said that while the fire is not
yet under control he believes that it
can be checked within a day", or two
and desperate efforts will be made to
hold it within line of defense now es
tablished. Thirty-three men in the government
service are now fighting the fire near
blk Lake, on the watershed between
the Santiam and Clackamas rivers in
Marion county. This fire continues
to spread rapidy through an old burn
and the firefighters are not attempting
to check it there, but are establishing
lines to prevent it getting into green
timber.
The fire along the North Santiam
river, just above Niagara, is checked
on the north side of the river. Though
it is still burning over a wide area it
is not spreading materially. On the
south side of the river the fire has
developed to dangerous proportions
and is still running rapidly.
DEER GROW SCARCE.
Gam Warden Finley Makes Tour ot
Curry County.
Port Orford William. L. Finley,
state game warden, passed a day in
Port Orford with Governor West'
party. Hi address here was in the
interest of the preservation of game
in this section. Mr. Finley pointed
out that the preservation of Curry
county's game would mean a large
financial profit to the community. He
cited the State of Maine as an ex
ample, a state which receives an in
come running into millions annually
from the hunters of Boston, New York
and other nearby cities.
As Curry county probably has more
game than any other county on the
coast, if it is properly protected, it
will be a permanent source of reve
nue. Mr. Finley has been investigat
ing the conditions in Coos and Curry
counties, from Bandon to Gold Beach,
as to violations of game laws and
making arrangement for setting
aside several game reserves.
He found a growing sentiment in
favor of game protection, and is get
ting the co-operation of the forest
rangers here. He also arranged for
appointing several resident wardens
to advise and work with the people
for the better protection of the game.
HOP PICKERS PLENTIFUL.
Mora Apply Than Are Needed for
Work Startirg.
Portland Hop growers ay they
have never known a time, when pick
ers were so plentiful. Some of the
larger growers, who opened employ
ment oflices in this city, have been
turning away picker for several days.
One Washington county grower had
his list made up last Friday. Nearly
every yard now haa its quota of har
vest hand engaged. The smaller grow
ers in the more distant sections are
likewise having no difficulty in get
ting the help they need, according to
word brought to this city.
It is remarked that the majority of
the pickers this year are new arrivals
in this section. They know nothing
of picking hops and few of them know
what hops are like.
The usual attraction are being pro
vided for the pickers at the big yards
this season. At the Krebs yard near
Independence, where the largest num
ber will congregate, the otTer is re
newed of a free marriage license, min
ister' fee, etc., for every couple that
will be married on the farm. Krebs
also agrees to donate $50 to each
couple ot start them out in life.
Van Dyke Lose Mora Salary.
Salem Discovery by the attorney
general's office that the oath taken by
Fdward S. Van Dyke, as deputy dis
trict attorney, was sworn in May 25,
but not filed with the county clerk un
til August 25, changes the status of
that officer's salary in the First dis
trict and the conclusion of the attorney-general
has been changed so that
Van Dyke will be precluded from col
lecting his salary prior to August 25,
under the law passed last year.
Salmon Quotations Advance.
Astoria The selling prices for the
Alaska canned salmon were announced
here at the following prices: Keds,
$l.t0; medium, $1.45; pink, $1.
This is an advance of $1 a case for
reds over the prices prevailing last
year,
The rates for pinks were made
lower than was expected, but this is
accounted for by the big run of hump-
backs that is reported on Puget
Sound.
JEERS DRIVE MAN TO DEATH
Aviator Tri to Make Good In Di
abled Aeroplane.
Norton, Kan. J. F. Fisbie, tbe
Cuti aviator, wa killed by a fall at
tbe Norton County fair. Friabie met
with an accident and only went into
the air again when driven to do ao by
the taunt and jeer of tbe crowd.
friable fell lib feet and the engine
of his machine fell upon bim, crushing
bis left side and cheat. He died an
hour later.
Friabie had been giving exhibitions
at Elmwood park for several days.
Hi machine acted badly, and he fell
40 feet, but beyond a lew bruise wa
not injured.
fHi waa skeptical about the ability
of his machine to stand another flight
and announced that be would not take
chances again until tbe machine waa
repaired. When thia statement wa
communicated to the crowd there wa
an angry demonstration. The specta
tors hooted and shouted "fake," and
refused to listen to explanations.
Finally Frisbie announced that
rather than have the big crowd go
away with the impression that be was
not willing to do hi best, be would
attempt a flight. He ascended from
the track without difficulty, and at
tained a height of 125 feet, but when
he 'attempted to make a turn the
planes tipped and he lost control. A
he came crashing to earth tbe specta
tor could see the aviator trying to
right the machine, but a it approach
ed the ground one of the wings struck
a barn and ,the machine glanced off
and (truck the earth, with Frisbie
underneath.
HOLD UP S. P. TRAIN.
Express Safe Blown But Passengers
Not Molested.
Ashland, Or. Five heavily armed
and thickly masked men held up the
California expreas. Southern Pacific
train No. 15, on a siding at Gibson,
Cal., while it was waiting to let the
Shasta Limited pass at 9:50 o'clock
Saturday night. The robber looted
the strong box in the express car and
escaped with the booty. A brakeman
on tbe train saw five men leap into an
automobile, which headed for Duns
muir. This is believed to increase
the chance of capturing the robbers.
The express messengers were eat
ing their supper and the side doors of
the express car were open. A the
train waited, three robber crawled up
from the brush by the siding, covered
the messengers with their guns, and
scrambled into the car, ordering
"hands up."
The express messengers were told
to stand with their faces to the wall,
and tbe robbers then blew both safes
in the express car, rifled them and es
caped, accompanied by two other rob
bers who had been riding on the roof
of the car. No one was hurt. The
value of the robbers' booty was not
learned.
JOHN D. CUNNING AS BOY.
Coup More Than Half Century Ago
Put Future Magnate on Top.
Cleveland, 0. That John D. Rocke
feller displaying the game cunning in
his boyhood days that has made bim
the richest man in America, won a
hickory-nut fight between schoolboys
years ago is shown by an old newspa
per discovered by A. L. Bartholomew,
president of the First National bank
at Preston, Ia.
The fight, which occurred more than
half a century ago, was between the
boys of Prospect school and Cleveland
High school. While his comrades
were waging the fight with all their
brute strength, Rockefeller, a Pros
pect boy, shrewdly made a reconnoi
tering trip and captured a load of am
munition from the High school boys.
This coup turned the tide of battle.
Other boy lined up with the Prospect
who have since become famous were
William McKinley, Thomas A. Edi
son, Mark Hanna and Calvin Brice.
Mark Hanna waj commander in chief
of the Prospects.
Employers Are Liable.
San Francisco The employer' lia
bility law, enacted by the last legis
lature and designed for the relief of
njured employes, went into effect
Sept. 1. Heretofore the law limited
the liability of employer to such cases
of injury as were caused by the fault
of the employer or agent, allowing
contributory negligence on the part of
the workman to be charged in the de
fense. The new law abolishes the "fel
low servant" and "contributory negli
gence" defense and holds the employer
liable for any injury to employes.
Torreon Still Restiv.
Washington, D. C. Torreon is now
the only place in Mexico where condi
tions are unsatisfactory, according to
advices received by the State depart
ment. It was here that the great
Chinese massacre occurred in the revo
lution, and local agitators still appear
imbued with an anti-foreign disposi
tion. With the coming of disturb
ances in other parts of the republic,
it is believed that the government will
soon quell disturbances there.

IIARRIMAN LINES
REJECT DEMANDS
Absolutely Refuse to Recognize
Federation of Employes.
Kline, for Men, Make Plea on Eco
nomic Grounds Official Say
.Duty To Public Prevent.
San Francisco The Southern Pacifie
company, through Juliu Kruttachnitt,
vice president and director of mainte
nance of the Harriman lines, absolute
ly rejected a demand for recognition
of tbe Federation of Railway Em
ployes, composing five shop trade and
25,000 men. Thia would hamper the
company in performing it duty to tbe
public, waa tbe position taken by tbe
official. Union leader aiked for it
on grounds of economy and expedition
and admittedly because of a feeling
that greater centralization of capital
and power made corresponding cen
tralization among various union de
sirable.
The unions involved bad asked per
mission of Jtheir general officer to
strike in event of the refusal of rec
ognition.
A conference lasting three hour
and 20 minute was terminated by Mr.
Kruttachnitt' final aniwer and fol-
ing it the union representatives.
sober-faced, went into session them
selves, to consider the strike vote.
which they may accept as binding, or
may (reject, refusing to sanction a
itrike.
'Our meeting with Mr. Krutt-
schnitt was without result," said J.
W. Kline. "Neither aide would con
cede anything. The demand that he
recognize the Federation was present
ed to Mr. Kruttschnitt, but be refused
to grant it. However, we still have
hope of avoiding a strike."
Mr. Kline aid later:
"Owing to the deadlock between
the committee and Mr. Kruttschnitt.
t is practically certain that the offi
cer and members of the unions in
volved will be called to San Francisco
immediately for consultation.
The international officers now here
have not receded from their demand
that the Federation be recognized.
Tbe railroads recognize and deal
with collective transportation organiz
ations. They should receive tbe shop
trades on tbe same basis," Mr. Kline
added.
Joint action is recognized on 14
railroad systems with entire success.
and the Harriman line will have to
come to it."
FRANCE IS NERVOUS.
Business Interest Feel Tenion of
War Situation.
Pari The nervousness of the busi
ness world over the unsettled franco
German negotiation relative to Mo
rocco reacted Saturday on the Bourse.
Transactions were limited, nearly the
whole list being weak.
Much uncertainty ha been caused
in official circles here by the action of
the Spanish government in choosing
the present time to occupy Sainte
Croix la Mineur, on the Moroccan
coast, 58 miles south of Agadir, under
the terms of tbe treaty of 1860 with
Morocco.
The French foreign office continues
to assert confidence in an early settle
ment, because of the extent of the
